How to align your hiring team
Mission
You are trying to accomplish a specific mission and you need
a candidate who can do it.
Outcomes
Many job descriptions go wrong because they describe
activities instead of results.
Competencies
Define the characteristics of the candidate you are trying to
hire. Competencies are both behavioral and cultural.
Phone Screening
Phone Screening
Why phone screen?
Phone Screening
How to use a 30-minute phone call for
screening candidates
The first round interview
The first round interview
Use the Topgrading approach to interviewing
The idea is to find out is to find out
how their career path has progressed

The first round interview
Use the Topgrading approach to interviewing
For every job in a person’s career history,
ask the following questions:
What were you hired to do?
What accomplishments are
you most proud of?
What were some low points
during that job?
Who were the people you
worked with?
Why did you leave that job?
Source: topgrading.com
A take home test
A take home test
Create a test that is concise, but will help you evaluate core
competencies that are most important for the position.
Hi Support,
Your system is impossible to use! When tickets are closed, I want them to stay closed.
Why can customers keep opening them? It means I can’t get the right data from closed
tickets. Why don’t you have a status beyond closed to keep tickets from reopening?
This is ridiculous, I need you to fix this yesterday.
Thanks.
Jesse.
Second round interviews
the “Focus” interview
What is a Focus interview?
Geoff Smart’s, Who: The A method to hiring
Focus interview best practices:

attention and questions around
Uncover specific items on your scorecard within these
themes:
Technical skills
Personality traits
Essential skills
Good to have

How to contact a candidate’s references,
and what to ask them:
BONUS: Chasing up references
How to contact a candidate’s references,
and what to ask them:
Be open about wanting to contact their
reference
Review your interview notes to select the
people to call to get the information you
need
“In what context did you work with the candidate?”
“What were the candidate’s biggest strengths?”
“What were the candidate’s biggest areas for
improvement back then?”
“How would you rate his/her overall performance in
that job on a 1-10 scale? What about his or her
performance causes you to give that rating?
“The candidate mentioned that he/she struggled
with in that job. Can you tell me more about
that?” (Learn to listen between the lines.)
Some questions to ask references:
Introduction and screening call
First interview
Take home test
Interview with you and a team lead
Founder fit interview
We like to follow these hiring steps

taken this structure:
